Everything is a Remix

New media is constantly being re-mixed, where we see original pieces of media beings adapted and mixed together to create something new and contemporary. This could suggest that although we are constantly discovering new types of media, the products we are producing are not exactly new, but simulacrums of other things. Below is a music video from Weezer, where we see a large variety of viral videos adapted to fit with their song. By this happening, we see how media convergence can affect every aspect of society, from the music industry to the average person surfing through YouTube.
